RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY

HEBREWS 5:11-13 (NIV)

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

Your understanding and practice of the revelation of righteousness is a major foundation and determinant of your spiritual maturity. Spiritual maturity is measured by Christlikeness – how much your life agrees, aligns, and reflects Christ. Until you understand and receive the gift of righteousness that God has freely provided for you in Christ, your life cannot align with Christ and all He has done for you; and you will not grow spiritually. The life and nature of Christ in you will not grow.

If your relationship with God is still based on the Law (your efforts), you will remain spiritually immature and limited in your experience and manifestation of the life of Christ. “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ,” (Gal. 3:24-27). You are no more a ‘little child’ like the Israelites were because of the Law. By your faith in Christ, you are now a mature son of God like Christ, and you have been brought into the same position where you can relate with God and experience your inheritance in God just as Jesus does, (Gal. 4:1-7). Until your life and walk with God flows fully from here, you will not grow spiritually.

PRAYER:
FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GROW IN MY CONSCIOUSNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. MAY EVERYTHING ABOUT ME FLOW FROM MY FAITH IN CHRIST.
GOD BLESS YOU.
